Safe URL, will this work (w/explode)

Inpresif

Suppose i have this:

www.domain.com/in.php?wmid=x&s=y

and want to make it like this:
www.domain.com/in.php/x/y/

Will this work?

$end = explode("in.php/", $REQUEST_URI); 
$vars = explode("/", $end[1]); 
if ($vars[0]){ 
$wmid = $vars[0]; 
} 
if ($vars[1]){ 
$s = $vars[1]; 
}

And most important, will both links keep working?

Cheers,
Paul.

You need to switch your form method to POST.

Looks like a job for mod_rewrite and .htaccess.

See, unless you tell your webserver differently, "www.domain.com/in.php/x/y/" tells the server to go to go to directory "in.hp" then the subdirectory "x" and then the subdirectory of "y." You'll probably end up with a 404 page not found error. You definitely can give it a whirl and see for yourself. To wiggle around this problem, you can use Apache and mod_rewrite with .htaccess and specify the URL rules to do this. Search this forum or google and you'll find a TON of info on this.

I did, but I'll search a bit further.

you dont absolutely need to use mod_rewrite for this.

you could use the PATH_INFO variable

$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']

google for PATH_INFO

Do all complete urls have to exist for that?
